Items related to No Sleep
For her series No Sleep, Hee Jin Kang photographs mattresses abandoned on the streets of New York City, mostly in Brooklyn. Kang's work reveals the unexpected beauty and strangeness of these found urban still lifes. The discarded beds are pathetic, monolithic, and architectural. They lay naked against walls and on curbs, sometimes seedy and sometimes luminous.
Hee Jin Kang, based in Brooklyn, New York, has exhibited her work internationally, including at the Hayward Gallery, London; the Musée de l'Elysée, Lausanne; and Culturgest, Lisbon. No Sleep, with an introduction by Jonathan Ames, is her first monograph.

Book Description Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Die amerikanische Fotografin Hee Jin Kang ist den ausrangierten Matratzen in New York, vor allem in Brooklyn auf der Spur- Vom unsichtbaren Gebrauchsgegenstand entwickelt sich die Matratze, einmal vor die Tür gesetzt, zu urbanen Stillleben, die oftmals eine seltsame Schönheit ausstrahlen. einige wirken monumental, andere schmutzig und schäbig. Immer wird das vormals Private, von dem noch Spuren zeugen, nach außen, auf die Straße gekehrt, sichtbar für alle. Dieser Gegensatz zwischen geschütztem Bereich und achtloser Exponiertheit fasziniert die Fotografin.Hee Jin Kang (\*1974 in Seoul, Korea) lebt und arbeitet in Brooklyn, New York. Ihre Arbeiten wurden international ausgestellt, unter anderem in der Hayward Gallery, London, im Musée de l'Elysée, Lausanne, und im Culturgest, Lissabon. No Sleep, mit einem einführenden Text Jonathan Ames, ist ihr erstes Buch. Seller Inventory # 9783868281941
